BetDSI opened the Kansas City Chiefs as 16.5-point favorites for their home game against the Arizona Cardinals next Sunday. You will find more on that Week 10 odds observation, and others, below.

– The last time the Chiefs were favored by more than 14.5 points was 12/13/92 (-16 vs. New England). The Chiefs haven’t been favored by 16.5 points or more in a game since betting lines became widely available in 1985.

– Over the last decade, there have been 21 teams favored by at least 16 points. Those teams are 20-1 overall (8-12-1 against the spread) with the only loss coming this year when the Vikings were upset by Buffalo in Week 3.

– The Cardinals are tied for the highest spread for a team coming off its bye week (since 1990 when byes were instituted).

Largest spreads for teams off bye week:

Arizona (+16.5) at Kansas City (11/11/18)

Washington (+16.5) at Dallas (11/20/94)

San Francisco (+16.5) at Chicago (10/29/06)

San Diego (+16) at Denver (11/8/98)

Tampa Bay (+15) at San Francisco (10/23/94)

Arizona (+14.5) at Dallas (10/13/96)

– The Cardinals haven’t been underdogs by more than two touchdowns since 12/30/12 at San Francisco (+16).

Coming off their first loss of the season, the Los Angeles Rams were installed as 10-point favorites at home against the Seattle Seahawks. Russell Wilson has played at an MVP-caliber level this season, but he finds himself in an odd odds situation in Week 10.

– Wilson has never been a double-digit underdog in his career. The highest underdog spread Wilson has incurred is 7.5 points. The first instance came in Week 7 of his rookie season (2012) when the Seahawks were 7.5-point dogs at San Francisco while the most recent came this year in Week 5 versus the Rams.

– The last time the Seahawks were double-digit underdogs came on November 6, 2011 at Dallas (-10.5).

BetDSI opened San Francisco as a 3-point favorite versus the Giants for their Monday Night Football matchup in Week 10. Nick Mullens is expected to make his second straight start at quarterback for the 49ers.

– The Niners are 9-1 straight up and 10-0 against the spread in their last 10 appearances on Monday Night Football. (Note: San Francisco opened as a favorite against Oakland last week and maintained that position until game day when the Raiders shifted to a 1-point favorite following news that C.J. Beathard would not play.)

– The 49ers are 1-12 against the spread in their last 13 games as favorites. Since Dec. 18, 2014, the 49ers are 0-5 straight up and 0-5 against the spread as favorites under all quarterbacks not named Jimmy Garoppolo.

Much has been made of increased scoring in the NFL this year. However, Week 10 features the lowest over/under this season. BetDSI opened the total for the Bills-Jets game at 37, and it has already been bet down to 36.5.

Games with O/U in the 30s in 2018:

38 – Titans at Bills (10/7/18) (Under)

38 – Bears at Bills (11/4/18) (Over)

38.5 – Bills at Ravens (9/9/18) (Over)

39 – Bears at Cardinals (9/23/18) (Under)

39.5 – Jaguars at Cowboys (10/14/18) (Over)

39.5 – Titans at Jaguars (9/23/18) (Under)

– This over/under marks the lowest total in a game since Week 14 last year (Colts at Bills).

– The last time the Jets were favored by more than a touchdown was 12/13/15 (-8 vs. Tennessee). This is the most points the Jets have been favored by in a game since 12/11/11 vs. Kansas City (-10.5).

– Since 1940, the Bills are one of 13 teams to have scored eight touchdowns or fewer through their first nine games. This season, the Rams have 32 offensive touchdowns while the Chiefs lead the league with 38.

– The Saints and Rams combined to score eight touchdowns in just over 35 minutes in Week 9, the same number the Bills have in 540 minutes played this year.

– Nick Mullens had the same number of touchdown passes in his first NFL start last Thursday (3) as the Bills have this season.

– The Bills are on pace to tie the record for the lowest touchdown total (14) in history since the NFL expanded to a 16-game schedule.

Do you remember back in the early 2000s when Ja Rule beefed with the entire Shady/Aftermath/GUnit camp? They went back and forth on countless tracks, mixtapes and even albums. Throughout the beef, they even brought in the late, great 2Pac as they both said he’d roll with them. Many people didn’t listen to the music, they just chose sides and most went against the Murder Inc crew. Honestly, Ja had the illest line in the beef when he went at Eminem’s daughter, but many discredited it. After a lackluster, The Last Temptation album the prior year, Ja Rule returned with a new album. Blood in my Eye was supposed to be a mixtape, but he released it as a full-fledged album. Many of the so-called “music critics” hated on this album badly. For me, this was definitely an upgrade from the previous album.

Ja Rule had his Murder Inc. crew on the album, except Ashanti as this was a hardcore album. Surprisingly, Hussein Fatal (R.I.P) from the Outlawz was featured on the album. The first single from the album was Clap Back, which basically was Ja Rule clapping back at 50 Cent. Clap Back also had some heat for Eminem and DMX also. Clap Back set the tone for the album as this is one of the better Ja Rule albums. The Life, Clap Back, The Crown, Things Gon’ Change, the title track and the last two freestyles are my top tracks. My favorite track on the album is Race Against Time II, which is the sequel that was on his debut album, Venni Vetti Vecci. With it being 2018, Ja Rule is still beefing with 50 Cent, but this time it’s through social media. Check out the track listing and stream below.

You know time is really flying by when Juvenile 400 Degreez album turns 20-years-old. Cash Money have had an amazing run as a label, but this album made them into some megastars. Juvenile was a part of the Hot Boys along with Lil Wayne, B.G. and Turk where they released their classic, Get It How U Live the previous year. Turk served 14 years for another attempted murder charge, but he’s signed with Cash Money. B.G. released several albums like his classic It’s All on U albums, but he’s currently in prison. Lil Wayne has been labeled as one of the best rappers of all-time. Lil Wayne just released his much-anticipated Carter V album after a split from Cash Money. Juvenile still remains with Cash Money but hasn’t released anything. For the 5X platinum 400 Degreez album, Juvenile first single was HA!

When it comes to HA, this track along with Bling Bling and Back That Azz Up made Cash Money mainstream. In the south, HA blew up, was a major hit in the club and propelled Juvenile to superstar status. The track was so big, that Jay-Z jumped on the remix. Juvenile’s second single was Back That Azz Up and that was an even bigger hit him. Back that Azz Up was all on the radio, in the clubs and still popular in strip clubs. The track became the biggest single for Juvenile, which sealed his status as one of the biggest rappers in the game. 400 Degreez went on to win R&B Album of the Year at the 1999 Billboard Music Awards. This album should be in your collection, plus check it out below the track listing.
